Project Showcase: My Town Fitness

In this series we’ll be sitting down with small business owners who used MOJO Marketplace tools and services to establish their online presence.

This month we chatted with John from My Town Fitness who built his site in May of 2015.

Tell us about your business

“We are a fitness center that offers primarily CrossFit. We teach people how to live healthier and happier lives through fitness and nutrition. We currently have 2 full time and 4 part time employees. We’ve been in business 1.5 years.”

Why did you want a website?

“We need a website for a number reasons. Marketing, communication, basically to tell the world what we do, who we areand where we are.”

Which MOJO products did you use to create your site?

“We used the WordPress All in One service. This service includes a premium WordPress theme, so we chose the Lato theme.”Want your own? See here:WordPress All in One

Why did you choose WordPress?

“We chose WordPress because we were using Weebly, and it wasmissing some functionality we wanted to add. There were some plugins that worked with WordPress, and not other platforms. None of us are very techsavvy, but it’s a work in progress.”

Tell us about your experience with MOJO

“It started out great, but once I was cut loose it was a littlemore challenging. The guy that helped me in learning WordPress wasgreat, but we only had 60 minutes or so.”

Difficulties:“After that initial coaching, it was hard to get more, and whenI did, I was working with someone new that I had to get up to speed on where I was, so there was a lot of time/energy lostthere.”

Easy Parts:“It’s like everything. The first 90% is easy, it’s just thatlast 10% of tweaking that needs help.”

Pro tip

While our 60 minute WordPress trainings are comprehensive, many Small Business Owners require even more assistance. Especially when considering your unique situation, needs, etc. May we suggest our WordPress Live service for on-demand WordPress expertise.

How’s your site doing?

“Good! Just need to keep on it so my skills don’t get stale.”

Any advice for Small Business Owners seeking to build their own WordPress Site?

“Get help. If you’re new to it you will need it.Try tolearn as much as you can before you get help though. Like I said, the first 90% isn’t too bad, it’s that last 10%, the fine tuning thatyou need the most help on.”
